Key result
Cardiac index was similar between normal children (3.19 ± 0.75 L/min/m2) and normal adults (3.06 ± 0.76 L/min/m2), with no significant difference between the groups (P > 0.50).
Why the study?
Does cardiac index differ between normal children and adults when adjusted for body size?
Population
46 normal subjects, comprising 28 children (5-13 years) and 18 adults (24-54 years).
Comparison
Measurement of cardiac output and hemodynamic… vs Comparison between children and adults.

Jegier et al. (1961) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=46). Children vs. Adults was evaluated on Cardiac index (liters/minute/sq.meter) (p=> 0.50). Cardiac index was similar between normal children (3.19 ± 0.75 L/min/m2) and normal adults (3.06 ± 0.76 L/min/m2), with no significant difference between the groups (P > 0.50).
